This lens hood prevents unwanted stray light, improving image quality by reducing lens flare. It also offers extra protection against accidental impacts. Designed to match the specific focal length, it ensures optimal performance for compatible lenses.
Lens hoods are primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens. In addition, since the end of the lens is extended, you also get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact.
Dedicated lens hoods are designed to match the specific focal length of the lens it was designed for.
